Estelle: I admire Cruz's style

Wednesday May 30 2012 Estelle admires Penlope Cruz's "womanly and vivacious" style. The Grammy Award-winning singer is famed for her edgy fashion choices, but also appreciates the more classic style of Hollywood's finest. Estelle looks to Penlope for inspiration. "I like a few. Penlope Cruz is always womanly and vivacious," she told Cover Media. "I like how effortlessly sexy Charlize Theron looks." Estelle describes her signature style as "comfortable". The 32-year-old star prefers to buck trends in favour of dressing in what suits her figure.

Penelope Cruz silent about son

Penlope Cruz loves talking about her son to strangers, but won't in interviews. The Spanish star and her husband Javier Bardem have 15-month-old son Leo together. Both are enjoying every aspect of parenthood but Penlope wants to ensure her son retains some privacy. "I cannot talk about my son and for me it's very hard to be silent. But when I see the recorder I stop myself," she explained. "And it's weird, because when I go to the park with Leonardo I am always asking the other moms, 'How many hours are they sleeping? What are they eating?'" The 38-year-old actress loves her job but it isn't the most important part of her life. She wants to ensure she is with her loved ones as much as possible, which means she's taken some tough decisions recently. "I will work less than usual. The family, for me, is more important than everything else. When I realised I was working too much, I decided to slow down," she told Myself magazine. C

Penlope Cruz: Oscars was adrenaline rush

Penlope Cruz felt like she was on a cloud of adrenalin when she won an Oscar. The star won a best supporting actress award in 2009 for her role in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She portrayed the unstable Maria, a woman who is constantly on the verge of trying to kill her husband, played by her real-life spouse Javier Bardem. The Academy Award win was a momentous time in her life. It was like being on a cloud of adrenalin. Everything was so intense. It was a beautiful night, she told Red magazine. I remember going into one of the parties with my Oscar and my family. They had all painted P on their faces to support me. The 38-year-old went to the bash after the ceremony and it was attended by a host of celebrity guests. However, Penlope found it all too much. So we went to a party of a friend of mine and we all went into the living room, and on the sofa I see sitting together Jack Nicholson, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, she said. I said, I cannot take this, and left. Becau

Penelope Cruz: Feeling good is important

Saturday May 12 2012 Penlope Cruz insists beauty "does have a meaning". The stunning star's mother owned a hair salon, and she spent much time there growing up. Penlope knows the importance of feeling good about yourself. "I saw that transformation in women. Not about how they look, but about how beauty makes them feel. Sometimes, women would come in and they were sad, ill, unhappy or worried, and my mother would say, 'Okay, let's cut your hair', and that little thing would improve their mood for the rest of the week," she said in an interview with Red magazine. "Beauty doesn't mean more, or less, than what it is - but it does have a meaning." Penlope works with a trusted beauty team. The 38-year-old Spanish actress has picked up many tricks of the trade by watching her esteemed make-up artists. "I've worked with Pablo Iglesias from Spain for 20 years. I always try to work with the same team, so I have a few people around the w

Cruz says confidence key to beauty

Penelope Cruz says the key to radiating beauty is "confidence" and "not taking yourself too seriously". The Hollywood actress is admired for her exotic looks and womanly curves, but insists that beauty is more than skin deep. Cruz thinks women need to feel comfortable with themselves in order to be attractive. "I am sure it's confidence," she told Red magazine. "It has nothing to do with a big ego. It's about not taking yourself too seriously, being able to laugh at yourself. I think that's a very important quality in a man or a woman. "It's confidence, not arrogance. Being comfortable with yourself." Some Hollywood stars are famed for going under the knife - something which Cruz hasn't done yet. However, the 38-year-old star is keeping her options open. "I don't know what I will do in 10, 20, 30 years' time. And I respect anyone who does something that's going to make them feel better - completely. But,

Penlope was inspired to front the campaign after seeing Italian actress Isabella Rossellini representing the brand when she was a teenager. The 38-year-old star has revealed her other beauty icons. "My relationship with Trsor goes back to when I was 14. I saw the adverts with Isabella Rossellini by Peter Lindbergh and I thought 'what a beautiful image' and asked my parents for the perfume. And it became my first one. I have used it for so many years," she told Red magazine. "That bone structure is incredible, that heart shaped face. But there are many I could mention. Meryl Streep.
